  1. Philosophy and Constitutional Theory: The Cautionary Tale of Jeremy Waldron and the Philosopher’s Stone.Kyle L. Murray - 2019 - Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence 32 (1):127-158.
    This article considers the relationship between moral philosophy and constitutional theory through a detailed examination of the work of Jeremy Waldron—an unavoidable voice in contemporary constitutionalist debate. Through a rigorous, original and holistic deconstruction of his work and its philosophical implications, I argue that Waldron’s engagement with core philosophy within his constitutional scholarship is wholly problematic, containing a number of ambiguities and apparent inconsistencies. These issues, I suggest, may stem from an at times rather casual treatment of the realist/anti-realist issue (...)

  • Refining the argument from democracy.Gabe Broughton - forthcoming - Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy.
    This paper presents a new version of the democratic argument for the freedom of expression that has the resources to give a plausible reply to the perennial objection—ordinarily considered fatal—that such accounts fail to deliver protections for abstract art, instrumental music, and lots of other deserving nonpolitical speech. The argument begins with the observation that there are different things that a free speech theory might aim to accomplish. It will hope to justify a right to free speech, of course, with (...)

  • Judicial review.W. J. Waluchow - 2007 - Philosophy Compass 2 (2):258–266.
    Courts are sometimes called upon to review a law or some other official act of government to determine its constitutionality, its reasonableness, rationality, or its compatibility with fundamental principles of justice. In some jurisdictions, this power of judicial review includes the ability to ‘strike down’ or nullify a law duly passed by a legislature body. This article examines this practice and various criticisms of it, including the charge that it is fundamentally undemocratic. The focus is on the powerful critique mounted (...)

  • Rights as Democracy.Richard Bellamy - 2012 - Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy 15 (4):449-471.
    Like many rights theorists, Peter Jones regards rights as lying outside politics and providing constraints upon it. However, he also concedes that rights are matters of reasonable disagreement and that, as a matter of fairness, disputes about them ought to be resolved democratically. In this paper I develop these concessions to argue that rights require democratic justification and that this can only be provided via a real democratic process in which those involved ?hear the other side?. I relate this argument (...)

    Luigi Ferrajoli no presenta su teoría del garantismo, únicamente, como un modelo normativo, sino también como un proyecto político. El objetivo de este artículo es realizar una crítica al constitucionalismo garantista como proyecto político, desarrollando algunas de las limitaciones y problemas que éste presenta para poder conformarse, por sí solo, en un proyecto válido para garantizar dignidad en las sociedades de las próximas décadas. Como señalaremos, en las sociedades de la segunda mitad del siglo XXI, este sólo puede ser un (...)

  • Constitucionalismo Y democracia: Una revisión crítica Del argumento contra-epistémico.Felipe Curcó Cobos - 2016 - Isonomía. Revista de Teoría y Filosofía Del Derecho 44:63-97.
    Los procesos democráticos de toma de decisiones pueden ser evaluados por sus resultados, por su valor intrínseco o por una combinación de ambas cosas. Mostraré que analizar a fondo estas alternativas permite sacar a la luz las debilidades más serias en los modos usuales de justificación del constitucionalismo. La fundamentación teórica de la articulación entre democracia y constitucionalismo ha permanecido atrapada en una trampa que busco romper. Concluiré mostrando la necesidad de rebasar los argumentos epistémicos y contra-epistémicos sugiriendo pautas que (...)

  • The Constitutionalist Debate: A Sceptical Take.Kyle Murray - unknown
    The constitutionalist debate - over where decision-making power in society should lie, and how it should be exercised - is one which is of fundamental importance not only in academia and constitutional theory, but in society generally. The main aim of this thesis is to critically examine the current debate from a particular, sceptical philosophical perspective - one which questions the possibility of convincingly defending moral premises. This controversial perspective, which goes to the heart of debates over moral realism, objectivity, (...)
